After weeks of watching the US LBM Coaches Poll and the AP Polls rank the college football teams during the start and middle of the 2025 season, the rubber meets the road on Tuesday night.
That’s because the first set of College Football Playoff rankings are set to be unveiled, and now it means something. The other polls are fun to follow and watch, but the CFP field is determined by where teams are ranked in the CFP rankings. This first release will give us a baseline of what the committed thinks about each team, with a few weeks for teams to do enough to be in position to get into the 12-team field.

We expect Ohio State to be in the top two teams, but will Indiana overtake the Buckeyes in the eyes of the CFP committee? What about unbeaten Texas A&M and what will happen with other Big Ten teams like Oregon, Michigan, USC, Washington, and Iowa? What spot will they all have to battle back from or hold on to?
If you landed here, we know you are looking for how to find and watch these rankings, especially if you are a YouTube TV subscriber (wink, wink), so we have everything you need to know to find and watch or stream the first set of College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night.
